Flag and Banner types


TRADITIONAL FLAG TYPES

  • NYLON
    Our most popular flag fabric. Durable, sun resistant, bright colors. Flies easily in a light breeze, dries quickly. Many traditional flags are available ONLY in Nylon.
  • POLYESTER
    Heavy Duty and longest lasting, with deep colors, and an appearance similar to cotton, but most useful only in high wind locations, as it does not fly well in light breezes. Usually available in 50 Star United States flags only.
  • COTTON
    Traditional character and authenticity. Deep colors and rich to the touch, but not as durable as more modern flag fabrics. Available in 50 Star and Historic United States flags only, as fabric supplies permit.

DECORATIVE FLAG TYPES

  • NYLON DOUBLE APPLIQUED
    Feature durable nylon fabric, handcrafted exquisite artwork and beautiful double thickness "quilted" workmanship.
  • POLYCOTTON SINGLE APPLIQUED
    Feature a durable "country" look. GARDEN SIZE design will often be a more simplified version of the LARGE SIZE. Design visible on both sides. Lettering if applicable is visible on one side only.
  • DYED POLYESTER
    Feature original artwork in a rainbow of durable colors. Economical alternative to appliqued flags.
    • GARDEN SIZE design will be a reduced version of the MEDIUM OR LARGE SIZE PICTURED.
    • SHAPED DESIGNS are DOUBLE THICKNESS CONSTRUCTION and are offered in GARDEN and MEDIUM sizes.

DECORATIVE FLAG SIZES

  • GARDEN SIZE: (Approx 12 x 18 inches) Great accent for Lawn or Flower Bed. Display on a Wrought Iron Garden Post
  • MEDIUM SIZE: (Approx 2 x 3 ft) A perfect size for most small to medium size
    homes. Use with a 5 ft pole and bracket
  • LARGE SIZE: (Approx 3 ft x 4.5 ft) Make a real statement for larger homes and where more visability will make a great impression. Display on a 6 ft pole and bracket

FLAG STYLES

"HEADING AND GROMMET" is the standard finish for United States Flags as well as for Nations, Military, Historic and many others. A canvas band is sewn to the left side of the flag, with brass grommets at top and bottom corners. Fasten to your upright pole with "flagsnaps" on the "halyard" OR fasten to a pole and bracket set with "flag fasteners" or "tie wraps".

"SLEEVED" flags are a modern finish for flags which will fly on a pole and bracket set, which allows the pole to slide through the sleeve on the left side of the flag, or across the top edge in the case of a decorative flag. A tab inside the sleeve allows the flag to button onto a screw at the top of the pole, or onto an optional "unwrapper tube".
